Hi.
I have MacOS 11.2.2 but I can't see the "Battery Health ..." button in battery preferences. I`ve got my battery replaced yesterday at authorised service, so maybe it will show itself in some time. Am I right?
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.2
Can you do this and post back a Screen Shot.
Go About this Mac >> System Report >> Battery. It should indicate the Details of the Battery including the Name - Maker of the Replacement Battery and the Health and Battery Cycles.
As the Battery needed replacement, it tends to indicate the computer is older - What year is the computer ? I fear either the computer might be too old to offer this Functionality or the Battery replacements is questionable ?
All I am witting is based upon there not being a Malfunction of the UpGrade to Big Sur.
Everything in Picture looks perfect. If computer works all correct and Only Battery Health Not working - It should be in Big Sur.
Try this - How to reset the SMC of your Mac and do 3 times one after the other - Test.
If still not working - there is a Safe App to download ( Use it myself ) that does about the same thing. It is Free for Basic features or Paid for addition Features. It is called coconutBattery 3 I am not affiliated with them and do not get Money from them.
Google Translation below - I speak French, English and some Thai. Only wish could speak more languages.
Všechno na obrázku vypadá perfektně. Pokud počítač funguje správně a nefunguje pouze baterie - měl by být v Big Sur.
Vyzkoušejte toto - Jak resetovat SMC počítače Mac a provádět 3krát po sobě - Test.
Pokud stále nefunguje - existuje bezpečná aplikace ke stažení (použijte ji sám), která dělá to samé. Je zdarma pro základní funkce nebo placené pro další funkce. Říká se tomu coconutBattery 3 Nejsem s nimi spojen a nedostávám od nich peníze
As far as I know, if you have an older MacBook without Thunderbolt-3 ports, e.g. a MacBook Air early 2015, you don't have this feature
Here is My Retina MBA 2018 with the T2 Touch ID button running Big Sur 11.2.2. This was an Erase of Catalina and Install Big Sur from USB -C Bootable Installer. Am not suggesting you do same thing, just comparing. Will work on this and if I find something useful - will get back to you.
Here is the screenshot. Again sorry for Czech, I though that changing the language of my computer would be easier, but I`m unable to change that, so I tried at least translate the most important parts.
It is MacBook Air 2017 (bought cca 3 years ago). I though, that this functionality comes with BigSur so that it is not pared with the type of hardware. I did the replacement in an authorized servis and I was told that the battery is original piece from Apple (so that all those things should stay as they were).
How could I detect if there is a malfuction of the upgrade to BigSur? I did upgrade the system, then reinstall it and then went to that servis.
Thanks for the tip ;). I will try it once I have a little bit of spare time. I will then try to put here the results.
Thank you for the translation (but I think I can understand that) :) I think we are on the same ship with the languages - the more languages you speak, the more you can see things from different perspective.
Thank you, but I`m afraid I don`t know what to do with this article. As i said, I don`t have the "Baterry Healt ..." button avalible. I attached i screenshot.
Thank you in advance
Vychozi hodnoty ( Default Values ? ) - maybe inside there?
That button only changes the values to deafult settings.
Btw. sorry for the Czech, didn`t wanted to switch the language on my Mac. I think that the layout is the same, only the language changes.
Thank you for addition info but they are talking about a MBA circa 2017 - any idea if that one is also affected?
Yes do attempt one time allows. and if more assistance is required - do post back.
Agreed - same ship. Respect to others languages and customs :-))
